Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Am totally psyched that you wanna read the Twilight Saga!! It's really good; I'm sure you'll love it! :D


message 3: by [deleted user] (new)

Once I started Twilight I had to keep going. I read all four books in little over a week. It really holds you in the story. But afterward I couldn't help but think a few things Edward did were kind of creepy.

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I know right!! :))

Zia (zrg1) | 380 comments im read alot no not really


message 6: by Ayunda (new)

Ayunda (ayundabs) I read Twilight, but I'm not allowed to read the rest :(


message 7: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh, no. Why is that? They don't do it until Breaking Dawn and even then they don't describe in anyway.

Some of my family members are Mormon. My aunts Daughter is 18 and they wont let her read the last book. The author is Mormon. I just don't get it.

Ayunda (ayundabs) Well, my parents said it's too grown-up for me. Whatever :)

message 42: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I love the former!!! My fourth grade teacher read it to us, and I haven't been able to read it on my own. The most emotional part for me, was when she through that Kerosene out the door when her mom was coming :'(.


message 43: by Ayunda (new)

Ayunda (ayundabs) yeah, it was really sad :( and how the others blamed her for it, even though it wasn't really her fault...

message 45: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I haven't been able to read The Lost Hero yet. My brother was reading it, and then he took it to school one day and he lost it. Now my dad wont let him buy another copy to finish reading it, so i have to suffer :(. Oh well, I can still buy it on my Kindle.


message 46: by Ayunda (new)

Ayunda (ayundabs) Wow, that's horrible! I hope you'll be able to read it though, it's quite good. Though not as great as PJO :D


message 47: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Yeah, my brother said the latter as well :). And I'm not suffering that bad, really. My mom said they will buy another copy -- when the paperback edition comes out :). So I'm just gonna get it on my Kindle soon. Actually, I think I will look it up right now.
